Another area that needs our attention, waterborne cargo and port facilities are extremely important to our economy and security interests. Waterborne transportation is inherently intermodal in the movement of freight from origin to final destination. Ports must be effectively linked with land-based modes of rail, road, and air to form a truly productive intermodal transportation system and to serve our military needs when needed.
We will be working to improve port waterside and landside ac cess to our ports and the intermodal connectors vital to our Na tion's freight movements, our economic growth, and national secu rity.
